Happy 72nd Birthday Donna! August & September have such special events to remember and rejoice in. God has given us such priceless treasures!!
Proverbs 5:18, 19 18 Let your fountain [of human life] be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], and rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant doe [tender, gentle, attractive]—let her bosom satisfy you at all times, and always be transported with delight in her love. (Amplified Bible)
I am the richest man in the world because the Lord gave Donna to me – and me to her! How do I begin to describe the delight and wonder of getting to spend my life with this wonderful woman – truly a daughter of the King. Her smile – her voice – her touch – her laughter – her kindness – her love for the Lord – her passion – her tenderness – her love for me. Oh my!!!!
I get to treasure her – I get to be with her – I get to hold her – I get to bless her – I get to rejoice in her – I get to thank God for her – I get to help her accomplish her dreams – I get to spend my life loving her and thanking God for her. She is God’s gift to me that He uses to enable me to love Him more. The more I love her, the more I love Him.
She passionately loves the Lord. Her tender heart is so apparent as she prays and is touched by others and God’s Spirit. I find myself frequently asking God to make me more like her. She truly delights in Him.
Today is her 72nd birthday. Later this month on August 25, we remember the amazing gift from our Lord – how 53 years ago at a Christian camp in Georgia, we met and were engaged 2 hours & 15 minutes later – we really were!! Then next month, on September 26, we celebrate our 52nd wedding Anniversary!!! I love to rejoice and celebrate the blessing I have in this delightful woman – my wife of almost 52 years.
I was out of town but just now reading this. Happy Belated Donna! Sweet devotional.
